In a few years, people around here will probably be mocking the wounds and service of soldiers serving in the present war, when those soldiers have politcal views which difer from those of the peanut gallery.
Not everyone is mocking - in fact, most are not. Many of us just have questions about when and where Kerry was in Vietnam, and whether he actually did half the things he claims he did.
For example, abandoning his post to go kill a wounded VC that could barely flee, let alone fight back. For that he get's a Silver Star. I want to know why.
I want to know why he get's a Purple Heart after having ointment put on a scratch, not even treated by a medical officer, right around the same time my father was getting one in Chu Lai, in the 1st Air Cav, with serious shrapnel wounds on his face and neck, then contracting malaria while in the hospital after having large chunks of metal removed from his face...
I want to know why he is claiming involvement in combat events that were actually the work of another man (Edward Peck, the guy he replaced on PCF-94)...
I want to know what made him so special that he got out after 4 months of a one year hitch, when the only others who seemed to do that were people who were no longer able to fight due to debilitating wounds...
But hey, if you feel that is "mocking" his "wounds", and makes me likely to mock the wounds of others, then feel free to kiss my rosy red ass.
